Design Wall Monday

This is the start of a quilt for my Uncle's 70th birthday. He really likes western theme, so I thought the cowboy boots would be perfect. All the strip sets sewn together and now to finishing cutting them out. I cut two sets out so I could see how they were going to look.

Design Wall Monday ( on Wednesday)

I am finally able to download pictures from my new camera to my computer so I can post on design wall Monday. I had some thing on my wall that is now finished so I decided to post it late. Since I am on the stash buster's diet, I pulled from my stash to make a donation top. I was able to make two tops out of the fabric, plus a pillow case.

The start of the top. All the fabric. The fabric in the back of the picture is for the backing.

The two tops completed.

Sunday Stash Report


I used three yards to make a "Designer" Grocery Bag. It is lined with fusible fleece interfacing that came from my stash so I'm counting it. If I could figure out my new camera I'd take a picture and post it. Figured out the camera!

New Year New Goals

As this is a new year, I am making my new sewing goals. I have already made a list of UFO's to finish in 2010. I have even worked on it. Another goal is to make more donation tops than last year. Plus I am going to post on Judy Laquidara Stash Report 2010. So far nothing to report but that's ok.

I'm sure most of you have read about the 1 million pillowcases project with All People Quilt--if not please read about it on the Heartstrings Quilt Project page. Mary has a great tutorial. I would like to make some every month. What a great way to use up some stash for a good project.

I did get a ufo table runner top done.
